BlueChip Motorcars is pleased to offer this very desirable red and white 1959 Mercury Monterey Convertible that has withstood the test of time. This car is a wonderful nod to the days of luxury full-size passenger cars and it is an original California black-plate car. The car runs and show nicely. Best of all, this '59 Mercury Monterey features the powerful 383 CID Marauder V8 engine. 

Moreover, the Monterey sports the factory Merc-O-Matic transmission, optional power steering, factory pushbutton radio and power brakes and of course that impressive convertible top that retracts with a single toggle. It is a correct numbers matching collectible that is well optioned, well-maintained and in great shape. Besides an arrow straight-body and all these wonderful features, Hagerty’s Valuation Guide shows a number one car reaching $70,000. 

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Mercury brand, Ford Motor Company launched the luxurious 2-door Convertible and pillar-less Hardtop, along with a 4-door Sedan and 4-door pillar-less Hardtop for the line-up. Their objective was simple, to provide Americans with a quiet, obedient and effortless passenger car, essentially the ultimate in transportation. 

When Ford Motor Company introduced the 1959 Mercury Monterey it immediately attracted buyers that were searching for the ultimate luxury passenger car. The very limited Convertible model drew much more interest, given its beautifully designed top, and sleek body curves and lines. 

According to select online sources, total production for 1959 reached 150,030 units. Of that number Mercury only produced 4,426 Convertibles that year, making VIN N9TA515671 a difficult find given that most were never restored, and are no longer on the road. 

This ’59 is a very desirable car that drives wonderfully and needs nothing more than a space in your garage. If you want to make a statement on the road, do it in a '59 Mercury. It's a real head turner, especially for rock musicians and hipsters wanting to travel in style. Have a business? What a great way of advertising it! Think of all the possibilities. 

As Ford’s marketing proclaimed in 1959, the Mercury Monterey was “Built to Lead - Built to Last.”
